I was wondering if anyone knew where some bow building courses were in the upstate SC area or surrounding

areas of the south east

I know of one happening in Florida this Winter.  I reckon that's a little far though.
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

I don't think there's anyone one like that here Chris. Everyone is so mean!

No but really everyone and anyone here would probly be willing to help ya. Do a bunch of reading and go for it. There's a lot of board bow builds around. Cut your teeth on that until u get a stave and or some help

I jumped in with a board bow, and have 2 more boards, and an Osage in the finishing process right now. That is since May. There are a lot of great people here willing to help.

Come to the Tennessee Classic at the end of April. If you are there 3 days or more sign up for the Selfbow Challenge and we'll help you build a bow and you can compete with other Challengers on Sunday for a trophy and go home with a bow you built yourself.
